Lucy, wife of Arc Danforth, was born in
Barnard. VT, Jan. IA, 1907, and passed to the
higher life from her home in Bronson, Hu-
ron county, o Sept. ID, 1887, aged 80 years,
months and 80 days. Her demise was
caused by softening of the brain, terminal
ing in paralysis. She came to Bronson, o.,
in 1916, when but nine years old, and lived in
the same neishborhood ever after. She mar
ried in 1928, and celebrated her golden we'd
ding JAM %, 1873. She identified herself
with our church in Peru, o., at an early date
in its history, and was consistent member,
true Christian woman to the last. Bot her
home was her realm, and to rear her children
in the fear of the Lord, her first ambition.
She was faithful wife and model mother.
OF her ten children, four of whom died in in
fancy, and two others in early life-four, two
sons and two daughters, and her aged hus-
band, survive her. Rev. @. p. Nash con-
Quoted her funeral obsequies, and presented
the consolation of the gospel.
Hannah Lynch was born Jan. 1, 1881, died
Sept IL, 1887. She was married to Br. Lynch
Aug 20, 1S48. They entered the Universalist
church at Jacksonville at the organization
of that society, in 1860, and we're baptized by
Rev. E. Moore. Mrs. Lynch has been
life long Christian, as is fully attested by all
who knew her, and in the immense throng
who paid their last tribute to the departed,
there were but few who did not drop
tear at the thought of kindness done
them by her. Her sickness was one long
waiting for the heavenly messenger. She
made all the arrangements for her funeral,
and said with her expiring breath that she
wanted the world to know how gloriously
happy she was in her faith; and that she was
ready to bear witness that it is as good to die
by as to live by. The funeral took place in
the Union church at South Scion, Sept. o., IA.
She leaves husband, two sons and daugh-
ter who mourn for her as only those who
had known her thus intimately could.
